Smoke lamp drawing device

ABSTRACT

A smoke drawing device comprises a base of floor lamp type configuration having a drawing fan therein. A tabular member of floor lamp type configuration is supported substantially vertically by the base over the fan. The tubular member is bent at substantially right angles to itself at its free end away from the base. A lampshade type unit is mounted on the tubular member at the free end thereof and opens into the tubular member in a manner whereby smoke in the area of the lampshade type unit is drawn by the fan through the tubular member and out through the base.

Objects of the invention are to provide a smoke drawing device of simplestructure, which functions with efficiency, effectiveness andreliability to draw smoke out of a room and thereby purify the air inthe room although one or more smokers are polluting such air.

In order that the invention may be readily carried into effect, it willnow be described with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein:

FIG. I is a front view of an embodiment of the smoke drawing device ofthe invention;

FIG. 2 is a side view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram of the smoke drawing device of theinvention;

FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an arrangement for disposing ofthe smoke drawn by the smoke drawing device of the invention; and

FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating another arrangement for disposingof the smoke drawn by the smoke drawing device of the invention.

In the FIGS., the same components are identified by the same referencenumerals.

The smoke drawing device of the invention comprises a base 1 (FIG. 2) offloor lamp type configuration having a drawing fan 2 (FIG. 2) therein.

A tubular member 3 of floor lamp type configuration (FIGS. 1 and 2) issupported substantially vertically by the base 1 over the fan 2 (FIG.2). The tubular member 3 is bent at substantially right angles to itselfat its free end 4 (FIG. 2) away from the base 1.

An outlet tube 5 (FIG. 4) may extend out of the base 1 to a pointoutside the house in which the device of the invention is located, asshown in FIG. 4, or may extend to an air or smoke filter, as shown inFIG. 5.

A lampshade type unit 6 (FIGS. 1 and 2) is mounted on the tubular member3 at the free end 4 thereof and opens into the tubular member. Thus,smoke in the area of the lampshade type unit 6 is drawn by the fan 2through the tubular member 3 and out through the base 1, as indicated inFIGS. 1 and 2.

A lamp 7 is mounted at the free end 4 of the tubular member 3 in thelampshade type unit 6, as shown in FIG. 2.

A source of electrical energy for the device preferably comprises asource of household or commercial power 8 (FIG. 3). A switch 9 controlsthe fan 2 (FIGS. 1, 2 and 3). A switch 11 controls the lamp7 (FIGS. 1, 2and 3). An electrical circuit electrically connects the source of energy8, the switches 9 and 11, the fan 2 and the lamp 7 in circuit (FIG. 3).I

An air or smoke filter 12 (FIG. 2) is housed in the base 1 and filtersthe smoke drawn into the base by the fan 2 before discharging it fromthe base. The filtered air, indicated by an arrow 13 in FIG. 2, isreturned to the area in which the smoke drawing device of the inventionstands.

While the invention has been described by means of a specific exampleand in a specific embodiment, I do not wish to be limited thereto, forobvious modifications will occur to those skilled in the art withoutdeparting from the spirit and scope of the invention.

I claim:

1. A smoke drawing device, comprising a base housing of floor lamp typeconfiguration having a drawing fan therein;

a tubular member of floor lamp type configuration supportedsubstantially vertically by the base housing over the fan andcommunicating therewith, said tubular member being bent at substantiallyright angles to itself at its free end away from the base housing;

an outlet extending out of the base housing remote from the tubularmember to an area spaced therefrom;

a lampshade type unit mounted on the tubular mem ber at the free endthereof and opening into the tubular member in a manner whereby smoke inthe area of the lampshade type unit is drawn by the fan through thetubular member and out through the outlet;

a smoke filter in the outlet for filtering smoke drawn therethrough; and

a lamp mounted to the free end of the tubular member in the lampshadetype unit for illuminating an area around the lampshade type unit.

2. A smoke drawing device as claimed in claim 1, further comprisingelectrical energizing means, a switch for controlling the fan, a switchfor controlling the lamp and electrical circuit means electricallyconnecting the energizing means, the switches, the fan and the lamp incircuit.

1. A smoke drawing device, comprising a base housing of floor lamp typeconfiguration having a drawing fan therein; a tubular member of floorlamp type configuration supported substantially vertically by the basehousing over the fan and communicating therewith, said tubular memberbeing bent at substantially right angles to itself at its free end awayfrom the base housing; an outlet extending out of the base housingremote from the tubular member to an area spaced therefrom; a lampshadetype unit mounted on the tubular member at the free end thereof andopening into the tubular member in a manner whereby smoke in the area ofthe lampshade type unit is drawn by the fan through the tubular memberand out through the outlet; a smoke filter in the outlet for filteringsmoke drawn therethrough; and a lamp mounted to the free end of thetubular member in the lampshade type unit for illuminating an areaaround the lampshade type unit.
 2. A smoke drawing device as claimed inclaim 1, further comprising electrical energizing means, a switch forcontrolling the fan, a switch for controlling the lamp and electricalcircuit means electrically connecting the energizing means, theswitches, the fan and the lamp in circuit.
